Career & College Promise
In this Section
High school juniors and seniors have a fantastic opportunity to get a head start on their college education through the Career and College Promise program at Central Carolina Community College (CCCC). By joining this program, students can take college-level courses while still in high school, earning both high school and college credits simultaneously. This not only helps students save time and money in the future, but also allows them to explore different academic paths and career options early on. To participate, students are required to meet certain academic requirements and will need to meet with a CCP Career Advisor to select the courses that align with their interests and goals. By enrolling in this program, students can experience a smoother transition from high school to college and be better equipped for their future careers.

Career and Technical Pathways focus on providing you with specific skills and training for various careers, such as culinary arts, automotive technology, or healthcare. On the other hand, College Transfer Pathways are designed for those interested in completing general education courses before transferring to a four-year university to pursue a bachelor's degree in areas like business, science, or humanities. By exploring these pathways, you can discover which direction aligns best with your interests and future goals.
